Making the announcement yesterday, Zhao Huiqin, Party secretary of Qingpu District, also said each station on the line would having a parking lot for people to leave their cars before transferring to the subway trains. The park and ride scheme “is part of the city’s efforts to reduce pressure on road traffic and air pollution.”

These include a recreation park along Shangda River in the northern part of the district, an ecological water park at Youdun Port in the east, a history and culture park along Dianpu River in the south, and a sports exercise park at Xidaying Port in the west.
